30 Days, 30 Albums

Jay GumbsMarch 22, 2014

One thing I’ve been doing a lot lately is listening to a lot of full albums on YouTube.

I remember the days when, if I wanted to listen to a full album on Youtube, I would have to find all the songs from the album and make a playlist. Now, you can find almost any album in any genre by doing a Youtube search.

I’ve put a lot of hip hop albums in my “watch later” and just about listening to at least one everyday. But sometimes I find myself listening to stuff I’ve listened to before or not listening to any at all.

Starting today, I’m going to listen to one album everyday for the next thirty days and blog about it.

The albums would have something in common, maybe all the same subgenre of hip hop, or maybe the performer, or a specific record label or year. Then I hope to repeat the same thing for the next thirty days after that with a different set of albums.

Hip Hop Albums of 1996

1996 was a great year for hip hop.

It Was Written came out.
All Eyez On Me and The 7 Day Theory came out.
Mobb Deep dropped Hell on Earth.
Jay-Z dropped his debut.

It was the year Pac died too. I was in high school about that time and Pac was all I listened to after September 1996.

For the next 30 days I’m going to listen to some albums that I have not listened to that came out in 1996. There wouldn’t be any I’ve mentioned because I’ve listened to those over and over again. Some I even own either on CD or on MP3.

Derp

People complain about the sound quality but I don’t see what the fuss is all about. I listen to music all the time on Youtube when I’m doing other stuff so it’s not a big deal.

From my location, I can’t purchase music on Amazon, maybe Itunes (haven’t tried) and I can’t access Spotify so this is the easiest, fastest and most convenient option other than downloading music illegally.
